Once you’ve heard that beautiful empty Trash icon sound, do you know where all your old deleted creations actually go? Do they simply disappear, or do they go to the same place your socks go when they go missing? Truth is, it’s a little bit more complex than you thought. If you thought that the files […]
Apple came under fire for overseas production in May of this year. It took them exactly one month to respond with this TVC, which was launched in tandem with the unveling of the new Mac operating system, now named for the world-famous California surf spot, Mavericks (no relation).
The use of the iPad in schools and for other forms of education, even for babies is known throughout the world – and now the blind will be part of this movement in education. Check it out

Did you know that your iPhone has a function that can read any text back to you? Well it does. But now, with iOS6, they’ve included a South African accent. What a nice touch! Click to have a listen and try for yourself.
I’m not going to bore you with promo-speak and some kind of sales pitch. I’m going to give it to you straight – so listen up – please, it’s important. The long-time reading 2oceansvibers out there will know that I converted over to Apple Mac a few years ago and I swore never to go […]

The New iPad is expected to launch on 27 April. The next question on everyone’s lips is: What are we going to have to fork out for the delicious Retina goodness? I have some good news.
We got this heartwarming report from 2oceansviber, Carryn Ortlepp over the weekend. Some people forget to mention they are 2oceansvibers when they use our partners, like Digicape. You really should make a special effort to name drop when you’re around one of our brand partners – this is the kind of stuff that goes down.
This is the second time that DigiCape’s Roeland Street Branch has been hit by this burglary syndicate. The shop was broken into at 02h15 this morning, and the group made off with over R250 000 worth of new and demo stock. DigiCape are offering a R25 000 reward for any information leading to arrests. Click through for the surveillance videos.

There has been so much press about the new iPhone 4 and its various pros and cons, that I doubt I need to educate you about them. The point is that people who have had the last two or three iPhones don’t give a toss about anything but owning the new one. And that includes […]
I was browsing the overseas newspapers on my iPad and spotted something on the front page of yesterday’s Daily Telegraph in the UK. Check it out – bottom right: With the launch of 2oceansvibe Radio, I am naturally drawn to articles like this – especially when they’re on the front page. Really interesting stuff here […]
There are a lot of iPhone apps out there and, as much as I would like to focus on all of them, my attention has been fully diverted to the new kid on the my block, the iPad. By the way, did I tell you that I subscribed to 12 issues of Wallpaper magazine for […]
I’ll be honest, I’m settling into the iPad quite nicely and starting to incorporate it into everyday life. I genuinely find typing on it (in portrait) an absolutely pleasure, typing at virtually the same speed as I do on a normal keyboard. Look at me, being all detailed and informative, like I’m not on my […]
I featured the all new Google Maps Street View vibe the other day (on the iPad nogal), and, whilst I was able to show you some of 2oceansvibe’s favourtie landmarks, I’ve been DYING to get some roadside funnies captured by the Google Street View cameras. Finally, 24 Apollo Road in Ocean View, just outside Kommetjie, […]

All protocol was relaxed as we granted one photographer and virtual-tour expert (Panascape) unprecedented access to my suite at the Cape Royale hotel. As it is my primary residence, you can imagine what intimate never-seen-before details were caught on camera. The virtual tour itself let’s you cruise around the Cape Royale hotel (spinning 360 degrees […]
“They” come out with hundreds of thousands of new apps every month and, very often, they’re rubbish – often making use of some of the iPhones hardware unnecessarily. Not this time. I found this little gem which will be very handy for our 2010 WC visitors wanting to take a break and catch a flick. […]
You can only imagine the zone you can get into, listening to some vinyl, with a joint in one hand and your new iPad in the other – on the day that Google Maps goes live with “Google Street View” for Cape Town. My God, I have traipsed every square inch of this city, all […]
I sent the incredibly awesome “Drummer Guy” video to Dom (The Blonde) and Dave (Baby Jesus) of Goldfish fame, before I put it up on 2oceansvibe the other day. I emailed it to them with the subject, “a gift for you – thank me later.” They responded that it was, indeed, genius. So today, Dom […]

My buddy Shaun Trennery over at Izimvo sent me a link yesterday about something called the “Air Display,” which is a wonderful app for my new iPad (Digicape smartly gave me a test unit, before they hit our shores – so be sure to pre-book yours!). Shaun obviously caught my barrage of tweets, as I […]

Check it out, there’s this new website that is linked to Twitter. It’s called “Twitures” and it let’s you just look at just the pictures of a specific user. See what they did there with the name? Pictures on Twitter = “Twitures.” Good one.. Here is a screenshot if you go to the 2oceansvibe Twiture […]
I am getting pretty excited about my new iPad which will be in my hands in a couple of weeks. With that in mind, I found myself browsing the net for accessories. Needless to say, Louis Vuitton have come up trumps with their range of iPad covers. Just LOOK at these beauties! I would probably […]
My beautiful babies, Daddy has snuck out of town for a month. I know I should have told you properly before I left, but if I had done that, you wouldn’t have let me leave. Everyone knows that an “Eagle Claw,” when performed by a model, is infinitely stronger than a Pit-Bull’s lock jaw. I […]
